This is a recipe I have perfected on my own through the years. I am one who never measures, so take the measurements as a guide, not as law. This recipe is one that my family members beg me to make all the time! Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch green onions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, divided

  • 6 fresh mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 pound ground pork

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (Optional)

  • 1 egg

  • ¼ cup dry bread crumbs

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers

  • 8 cups chicken broth

  • 16 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (Optional)

  • 1 medium head bok choy, torn into 2-inch pieces

  • 16 snow peas

  • 1 dash soy sauce, or to taste (Optional)

  • 1 dash sesame oil, to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Dice the green onions, and set aside all but 1 tablespoon. Slice the mushrooms, and set aside all but 1 tablespoon. Finely chop the 1 tablespoon of green onions and 1 tablespoon of sliced mushrooms, and place in a bowl with the ground pork, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Stir to thoroughly mix the pork filling.

  2. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with water. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal. Moisten the two long ends of the triangle, fold them together, and press them firmly to seal.

  3. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Drop the wontons, one by one, into the broth, and let them cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until they float to the surface. Reduce heat to a simmer, and gently stir in the shrimp, bok choy, and reserved sliced mushrooms. Let the soup simmer 2 more minutes, until the shrimp turn pink, and then drop in the snow pea pods. Garnish with the remaining green onions and a dash of soy sauce and sesame oil, and serve immediately.
